+It is assumed you have installed Erlang and rebar3.
+
+To run the tests do: `rebar3 as test lfe ltest`.
+
+Checkout the [LFEUnit Emacs plugin](https://github.com/mdbergmann/emacs-lfeunit) when you're on Emacs.
+
+Otherwise the usual rebar3 things apply.

+;; Hi and welcome to team Gilded Rose. As you know, we are a small inn
+;; with a prime location in a prominent city ran by a friendly
+;; innkeeper named Allison. We also buy and sell only the finest goods.
+;; Unfortunately, our goods are constantly degrading in (item-quality item) as they
+;; approach their sell by date. We have a system in place that updates
+;; our inventory for us. It was developed by a no-nonsense type named
+;; Leeroy, who has moved on to new adventures. Your task is to add the
+;; new feature to our system so that we can begin selling a new
+;; category of items.
+
+;; First an introduction to our system:
+;; All items have a SellIn value which denotes the number of days we have to sell the item
+;; All items have a Quality value which denotes how valuable the item is
+;; At the end of each day our system lowers both values for every item
+;; Pretty simple, right? Well this is where it gets interesting:
+;; Once the sell by date has passed, Quality degrades twice as fast
+;; The Quality of an item is never negative
+;; "Aged Brie" actually increases in Quality the older it gets
+;; The Quality of an item is never more than 50
+;; "Sulfuras", being a legendary item, never has to be sold or decreases in Quality
+;; "Backstage passes", like aged brie, increases in Quality as it's
+;;   SellIn value approaches; Quality increases by 2 when there are 10
+;;   days or less and by 3 when there are 5 days or less but Quality
+;;   drops to 0 after the concert
+
+;; We have recently signed a supplier of conjured items. This requires an update to our system:
+;; "Conjured" items degrade in Quality twice as fast as normal items
+;; Feel free to make any changes to the UpdateQuality method and add
+;; any new code as long as everything still works correctly. However,
+;; do not alter the Item class or Items property as those belong to the
+;; goblin in the corner who will insta-rage and one-shot you as he
+;; doesn't believe in shared code ownership (you can make the
+;; UpdateQuality method and Items property static if you like, we'll
+;; cover for you).
+;; Just for clarification, an item can never have its Quality increase
+;; above 50, however "Sulfuras" is a legendary item and as such its
+;; Quality is 80 and it never alters.
